BlackBerry Bold 9900 launched, priced!

BS…. OVERPRICED masyado…. 24 months? <- BS
why do we need a 24months warranty… if they are releasing new models every 6 months?? BS….

Pano ba nasasabi kung overprice ang isang bagay?

what’s the use of complaining kung wala naman kayong balak bumili? parang sa apple products lang yan eh, kanya kanyang target market. this unit is the first of RIMs handhelds to sport the new OS7, thinner and aesthetically improved from the former Bold 9000 which imho, the best BB phone of its gen. Add to it the fact that RIM is investing and expanding in emerging markets, the Phil included, so mas lalo pa gaganda ng service, heard they’ve already opened 5 service centers in the country prior to this launch. At dahil sa expansion na ito, sobrang affordable na ang service, see Globe’s P599 unli for 30 days. Better days for bb users in the Phil.

Worth the wait, i’m getting my unit this week!

Overpriced. No wonder kung bakit unti unti silang nalulugi. I think the phone itself only costs 21-25k since old technology and hardware lang ang ginamit. The specs are not even comparable to the 28k price of galaxy S2. Super
Die had BB fans lang ang bibili nito. Heck why even invest this much kung malapit na rin ilabas ang mg QNx powered BB phones. Dying breed na ang BB OS

Exorbitant pricing, unexciting OS, dying company. RIM = RIP in 2 years.

If you must buy a blackberry, buy a low-end blackberry. high end blackberries dont offer much compared to their low end sibblings. i had a torch and decided to sell it and bought a curve instead. Theres nothing much you can do with this phone. (have you seen the prices of blackberry apps btw?)

Can’t wait for BB curve 9360!

This is outrageous

Oh RIM.Going for the ignorant executive types with their overpriced offerings.

The 8520 and the Pearl 9105 are their only phones that are competitively priced. The 624 mhz powerhouse Bold 9780 and Torch 98000 are still around 20k+. Ridiculous.

I have owned a torch and a curve. i like the curve more. all blackberries are the same. you made a wrong decision selling your 9780 for the 9900. The only difference is the touchscreen which im sure you wont bother to use anyway.

Globe has it on their website already: http://site.globe.com.ph/blackberry/bold9900?sid=ToP-WcuxpRcAABoXR8YAAAAHe

Too expensive!

Just because its for enterpris users doesnt mean its ver priced or not for you.

Most users in phillippines arent business people. all they worry about are games. lol lets be real. and if you can afford blackberry you wont be conplaining. not to be too frank.

Yup! you’re absolutely correct @bustos, but many people are getting interested of this mobile because of good data plan service (philippines) :p

I’m a fan both Apple and RIM, they have a good quality in terms of specifications. :D I just love them ;)

How much is this now? can it be in installment basis?
